The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Power Yoga  by Geo Takоmа & Eve Adamson

Dear Reader:
I hope this book inspires you, that it turns up the light in your life, that it helps you to find and maintain a healthy body, mind, and spirit well into the twenty-first century.
This book can help you move toward a life enhanced by strength, confidence, and supreme physical and spiritual health. I have done it, and I’ve seen many other people do it, too. You can improve your life, increase your energy, even change your attitude to enhance your daily life.

If you practice my Power Yoga exercises, you will become stronger, more flexible, and better balanced in every way. You can read about it, you can think about it, and you can talk about it, but if you want to develop your own natural power, you have to do it.
Fifteen minutes of Power Yoga a day, with five minutes of meditation and 10 minutes of relaxation, will change your life. Work through this book in order, find the routines that work best for you, and commit to them every day.

Devote that much time to yourself. Schedule it—and don’t just pencil it in. Your life is worth permanent ink! Make it your promise to yourself. You are more than worth it.

CONTENTS AT A GLANCE

Part 1: Feel the Power

   Who am / and how did Power Yoga evolve? I trace the first steps of my personal journey and the human journey to show you how the movements of Power Yoga are innate to human bodies and how they can make your body and your life more fulfilling and complete. 
2. More Power to You!
   Power Yoga is uniquely American because it speaks to us in a language we can understand: the language of constant movement.
